Only Two Days To Go Till Scottish Resources Conference – Book Now!

With less than 48 hours to go until Scotland’s biggest resource management event kicks off in Glasgow, the industry is being urged to book their places at the 2015 conference.

With speakers including Richard Lochhead MSP, Tristram Stewart, and the European Commission’s Director for the green economy, Kestutis Sadauskas, the conference will provide an opportunity to hear the latest ideas on the key issues being faced by organisations and individuals in the sector.

With studies suggesting up to 50% of food supplied globally is never eaten, day 1 will focus on the issue of food waste, while day two looks at development of a circular economy in Scotland.

Iain Gulland, Chief Executive, Zero Waste Scotland said: ‘With a thought-provoking agenda and an outstanding line-up of speakers, the Scottish Resources conference will focus on how we tackle the global scandal of food waste and how we grow the circular economy.

Charlie Devine, Chair of the, Chartered Institute of Waste Management Scottish Centre (pictured), added: ‘As well as the must-see speakers and the opportunities to hear the speakers and leaders who shape the direction of our work, the event will also provide terrific networking opportunities, and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible over the two days.’

Organised jointly by The Chartered Institute of Waste Management (CIWM) and Zero Waste Scotland, the conference – entitled Feeding the Planet, Feeding Scotland’s Economy – will take from 7th-8th October at the Hilton Glasgow.
